Cleveland's Finest Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) Smackdown vs. Raw is no longer....introducing WWE '12. For years WWE SmackDown vs. Raw has been the Sports Entertainment simulation series from THQ and Yuke's Yokohama. It's been a fun ride, but as with any franchise, fans have complained about annual aspects over and over again. Turns out the developers were listening, killed the series, and are planning on fixing things with WWE '12. The stiff animations, the characters warping into place for certain moves, the confusing right analog stick controls for grapples -- WWE '12 is addressing all of that and feels good so far. That's pretty damn exciting. http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/article/117/1171523/tba-wwe-12-20110530093457462.jpg Read more Edited May 31, 2011 by Cleveland's Finest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Bring back GM mode. No point in bringing back GM mode. Universe is generally the same thing minus the competing brands and ratings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Looks like they're actually trying this year(even though 11 wasn't that bad.) Might not wait for the price drop this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted November 22, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Just went to Wal-Mart and bought it...got the Orton cover (wanted Rock), but I did get the Rock as a playable character. I thought that was only for pre-order, but I was wrong. Hope it's going to live up to the hype. I rarely buy games on the release date, let alone the minute they are released.

Owner Real Deal Posted November 22, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 This game is the real deal, especially the graphics and presentation. Controls are a bit tough to get used to, but I'm sure it just takes time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controls are a bit tough to get used to, but I'm sure it just takes time. Really thinking about buying this game either tonight or tomorrow, the only thing holding me back is that I just bought the new Zelda this past Sunday and I don't think I would need another game now. If its a "good" game then I can wait till December/January but if its living up to the hype as the first great WWE game in like forever then I need to pick this up ASAP. Plus I don't think they're going to give away The Rock DLC if I wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grapple system isn't as good as HCTP, but it's close, and more similar than the previous games in the series. Customization, easily the best. Game modes and features, the best. ----- Basically, if you took HCTP's grapple system and movesets/lists, and placed them into this game, it's a 10/10 and, by far, the greatest wrestling game ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Picked it up last night, fun game so far (gameplay, creation modes, and universe mode are all top-notch) and my only gripe is the story mode, still not feeling it but otherwise a GREAT game.

Owner Real Deal Posted November 26, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Yeah, and I'm about to beat Ricardo's ass, because all he does is stand on the apron. I dropped ADR with three finishers, and Ricardo's dumb ass kept jumping up there and getting the ref's attention when I went for a pin, and I ended up losing.

Dash Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 ^ I love how every match is very losable, I can be dominating most of the time and then Brock Lesnar can randomly drop me with a F-5 and take it. I used to struggle with this a lot in my first few days playing this game but I'm getting the hang of it now. Anyways what does your universe mode look like? My mine is: Raw 1. CM Punk - WWE Champion (babyface)2. Brock Lesnar (heel)3. The Miz (face)4. Randy Orton (face)5. Wade Barrett/Cody Rhodes/Dolph Ziggler (all heels) Forgot who my US Champion is. Smackdown 1. The Rock - World Heavyweight Champion (face)2. Undertaker (face)3. Stone Cold (face)4. Triple H (heel)5. John Cena (heel) Intercontinental Champion: Daniel Bryan (face)Divas Champion: Beth Phoenix? (heel?)Tag Team Champions: Big Show & Kane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted December 13, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Did they ever come out with a patch for the thousands of glitches in this game? At one point, my CAW just came to the ring with half a face (no jaw), did some sort of a cartwheel/backflip variation through the ropes, and is now standing through the ring, and floating around (I was coming out to interfere in a match). Also, one of the funniest things happened. I played as Cena in Universe, wanted to win a match so my CAW would become the #1 contender (instead of Heath Slater...come on). So, I put Slater in an AA...and I immediately started taunting him again, he got up groggy, and Cena automatically put him in another. And another. And another. Lasted about five minutes, same exact thing...seemed like 25-30 AA's without me touching a button, stuck in a loop, and I had to turn the PS3 off.
